GARMENT HANGER.

Application filed April 16, 1924. Serial No. 706,941.

This invention relates to garment hangers and particularly to animproved coat and dress hanger and has for an object to provide animproved construction wherein a structure is presented whichautomatically tends to prevent the garment from accidentally falling oifof the hanger.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hanger in whichreversely extending members are provided acting as abutments to preventa garment from sliding 01f of the hanger when the hanger is tilted orotherwise shifted out of normal position.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a side view of a hanger,disclosing an embodiment of the invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the structure shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of a slightly modified structure to thatshown in Figure 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates asupporting hook of any desired kind which is connected in any desiredmanner with the body 2 of the hanger, which body is formed with upwardlyinclined surfaces 3 and 4 whereby abutments or shoulders are providedtending to prevent a garment from slipping off the hanger in alongitudinal direction. The raised sections 5 and 6 having the curvedsurfaces 3 and 4 merge into rounded knobs 7 and 8 whereby a propersupport and form is presented for holding a coat or other garmentextended and in substantially proper shape.

Where a skirt or dress is placed on the hanger, the raised sections 5and v6 will not only act as means for properly holding the garment incorrect shape but will act to prevent the garment from sliding off theends of the hanger.

Under some circumstances where evening dresses or dresses havingshoulder straps are to be placed on the hanger, the straps may be placedover the sections 3 and 4 of the hangor shown in Figure 1, thoughpreferably the modified structure shown in Figure 3 is used and thestraps placed over the sections 9 and 10. These sections are providedwith upstanding stops 11 and 12 whereby the shoulder straps cannot slipoff the sections 9 and lOreven if the hanger is tilted to a greatextent.

What I claim is:

A garment hanger, comprising a. body having end portions arranged in aplane above its center, said end portions projecting downwardly andinwardly toward the center of the hanger, said inwardly projectingportions each having an upwardly extending lug.
